3、at 3 in/sec“ and a momentary vertical load of 800 lbs was applied to the tank assembly. This load was immediately reduced and the tank bolts removed. The normal transfer load is made up of a 150 lb tank lifting fixture and a 235 lb tank weight.Lesson(s) Learned: Cranes used to remove slack and trans
4、fer loads from tank struts to a ground support equipment lifting fixture may cause a momentary vertical overload.Recommendation(s): Update OMI procedure to utilize hydraset units (in place of cranes) during transferring of loads to avoid overloading tank assemblies.Evidence of Recurrence Control Eff
